[quote=Anonymous]Op, you're not being overprotective. You are being cautious.  DCUM is where people would judge you if something happened to your daughter and they'd say, "Well why didn't she find an alternate route if she didn't know the parents that well?!"

I agree that DD could stay until midnight and after that I'd pick her up. Alternatively, I'd volunteer to help the other mom supervise the girls for the night. You could then get to sleep over, have a drink with the mom or two (while becoming friends with the mom) and DD wouldn't feel left out.

Sexual abuse does occur from fathers, brothers, girlfriends, sisters, grandparents or any other unknown. We have to remember in this day and age sexual abuse can happen by either a girl or boy.

As much as I'd hate for DD to feel embarrassed, I'd hate to have anything happen on my watch. Because if you allowed DD to go and stay at the sleepover and something did ever happen, DD is not going to tell you. Why?! Because it would be hard to admit mom may have been right and she might then feel a sense of shame. Of course, you wouldn't shame her or be upset with her but trying to explain that to a pre-teen is difficult. [/quote]
